Have y’all notice that in canon, everyone who meets Nesta that isn’t tied to the IC likes her? Just me?

[the-whole-long-stupid-story]

Elucien DOES NOT ruin the three x three symmetry, actually, and here's why:

This is a variation of the Death of Koschei the Deathless, in which three sisters marry three kings, one of the Moon, the Wind, and the Sun.

Considering Rhys is the High Lord of the Night Court, and owns the Moonstone Palace, it seems pretty apparent to me that Rhys is the Moon King. And his mate is Feyre.

Cassian is an Illyrian who is born hearing the song of the wind, loves Illyrian culture per ACOFAS, is called the Prince of Bastards, and lives at the House of Wind, it's safe to say that he's the Wind King. And his mate is Nesta.

And Azriel is...

Oh. Wait.

So it's not three brothers three sisters, and yet it still maintains the three symmetry.

Because Lucien means light, he's the son of the High Lord of the Day Court, presumably the heir as his only son, and likely will have access to whatever palace Helion resides in once his heritage is revealed. And his mate is Elain, whose name also means light, who craved sunshine in her darkest moment, and who is often represented by flowers, which benefit from sunlight.

Hmm.

Intreresting.

*HOFAS SPOILERS* I'd love to know your thoughts on the Books A Million bonus chapter from HOFAS. I'm a Nessian lover, but the discourse I've seen so far has so many readers hating on Cassian and suggesting this is the start of the end of their relationship. And while I understand why he'd be so angry with her actions, and was disappointed he didn't stand up for her a smidge more than he did, I don't think it's an indication that SJM is about to drop a bomb and set her up with Eris instead (which is what I see a lot of the anti-Cassian crowd saying).

I'll start off by saying SJM is definitely not going to be ending Nessian and I can't believe people are still on about couples not ending up together after they've already been given their main arc / POV. SJM herself said it in an interview that she didn't want everything to be perfect by the end of Nesta's story, that there was still going to be things for her to deal with, consequences to her saving Feyre and she still had a future journey. Just because she's not getting a main POV, she'll still be involved in future books so I do think we're seeing Nesta as she continues finding her way. I imagine that Cassian will eventually tell Nesta he's proud of her for wanting to help Bryce but when the fear was still too close to the surface after finding out what she did, I think everyone's reaction was kind of warranted? Nesta is great for wanting to help Bryce....but it was kind of at the expense of their world. Their world that has Nyx and Feyre and Elain and Gwyn and Emorie Cassian, and humans, the rest of the fae and so on. She wasn't even sure she could trust Bryce, told her as much, yet she still sent her off with one of the deadliest weapons around that if by ending up in the the wrong hands it could mean the destruction of their world. A world that Rhys and Cassian have been trying to protect for 500 years and Nesta really took a gamble on the lives of everyone she knows. It was a caring thing for her to do, thinking about helping another world, while not really showing the same concern for her own and I think that's got to be difficult for the members of the IC to handle when their focus has always been on trying to keep their people safe. I do think the Mask is going to come into play later in the series. Nesta hands Bryce the mask and Bryce thinks, "she could have sworn the very world - all worlds - shuddered as Nesta's hand crossed into Midgard and passed the Mask to Bryce. We have Hunt don the Mask (able to as Bryce imbued him with some of her "made" essence) and he says "The Mask ripped apart his soul." We have Nesta wear the mask when Bryce first came to Prythian and Az had a difficult time getting her to relinquish it's hold on her despite her later bold claims that the Mask obeys her. Helion shudders over the Mask, claiming that his ancestor may have worn it and the cost is now imprinted on his blood. And in SF, we have SJM mention that Nesta only needed to call a few of the dead with the Mask, not thousands "not yet". So I think the argument itself is also setting up for some bigger arc we'll see in the future for this particular weapon. Maybe something that will happen in the extra books she was recently contracted for. But I do think maybe Nesta has gotten a little too confident on thinking she's truly the one in control of this very dark made object.

Funny how Nesta gets the “mean rude awful attitude” title but she’s not the one blowing up in violent anger every time something doesn’t go her way 🤷🏻‍♀️

There's around five weeks until HOFAS release and I can't wait to put my hands in this book!! One of the things I'm looking foward the most is to see the ACOTAR characters discovering the CC tecnologies. I think the Valkyries would for sure be hooked in the same TV Show Lehabah enjoyed so much.

What would you like to see in HOFAS? 🙂

✨Ditto ✨

Just a little candy minivid because I couldn’t shake the build up from this song from my brain.

[the-whole-long-stupid-story]

On instagram he posted it too, but captioned it “Leave it to @majandrama to grab a shot of me laughing and showing teeth. She knows my weaknesses.” And then she re-shared it from his feed to her instagram stories and said something like “I’ll never stop trying.”

Ugggggghhhhhhh

1- Go to Brendan's Twitter

2- Feel all the feels with me.

Oh, no.

It's been 22 years and I'm still shamelessly shipping them. But WHAT DID SHE SAY?!

Ah, to be there! Looks like they had a really good time. I'm so envious of those who could go! But so, so happy for them as well ❤️

[the-whole-long-stupid-story]

I’m sorry, but I had the largest candy spiral of my life yesterday when Brendan posted this to his instagram. So many feels. Sooooo many feels. 

To start with, I agree Brendan, I agree. Majandra is magnificent. She is a goddess, and to this day I still have no idea why you...nevermind.

He’s basically calling her a beautiful princess, and I am here. for. it. Because she is.

THEN, her comment. Gah. 

I’ll be over here in my feels with a bunch of candy being all nostalgic and stuff. Don’t mind me.

Honestly, getting to see these two in action during UFO Fest was the most magical thing ever.

#somethingsneverchange

[the-whole-long-stupid-story]

This literally gonna be my face for the rest of this week / weekend, watching all these lucky, lucky dans attend UFO Fest in Roswell with Brendan + Majandra.

Can’t wait to see all the pics and hear all the stories 😍😭🍬

[the-whole-long-stupid-story]

I...admit nothing.

On Instagram, there's a fan account that made an elimination game where everyone has to "eliminate" one Roswell character a day. There's no shortage of Max adoration on instagram, but somehow the Max-was-actually-not-that-great brigade PULLED OFF A HEIST and got him eliminated ahead of Maria, Michael and Liz. Looks as though Liz is next to go. Candy prevails. Just thought this was important to share because #MaxIsADouche #FreeLiz

wait, what? I NEED TO SEE THAT, lmao.

I can't stop laughing.

this is very important indeed. thank you so much for sharing.

✨ If the Roswell Characters Went to Prom in 2021 ✨

>> Maria DeLuca

I love the idea that Maria would have had stars in her hair. And that she might have rocked a simple 90s-style slip and strong lip combo, as well as having a super fun / boho nail 🌼
